True — that's a myth.
Being approved for a credit card only means a lender is willing to extend you credit under certain terms. It does not prove financial stability or wealth. Approval depends on factors like credit history, income, and the lender’s risk appetite; it can even happen for people who are thin-file, have secured cards, or who will end up carrying costly balances. Real signs of financial “arrival” are things like positive net worth, emergency savings, low/high-quality credit habits, and steady investing — not merely having a card.
